Another Flower Tutorial!

c blog post seen HERE.

The wreath had these pretty little handmade flowers to embellish it...so here's the tutorial on how it's done.

First, cut a long strip of fabric (the longer the fabric; the bigger the flower, the thicker; the fatter the rolls!)

I found cutting a snip on the one end of the fabric and tearing it instead of cutting gave the perfect fringed edge.

Tie a knot at one end. This will be your flower's center.

Glue the center down to a piece of felt with a hot glue gun.

Then begin twisting your fabric as you glue it down around the center.

Keep rotating until the size of flower you want, OR until you run out of fabric!

Glue the tail to the back.

Cut off all the excess felt as close to the flower as possible.

THAT'S IT! Finished!!

Make all different sizes for the best effect! Looove them.

The longest part is all the gluing.

Why not make some out of an old shirt?

(like this one that no longer fits my hubby!)

Same technique, twisting and rolling...

Fabulous!!

As easy peasy as these are, they do take a bit of patience, a high pain tolerance for the glue gun burns you are SURE to incur and a bit of time to do them.

Like I said before, I did about 30 minutes worth during the kid's naptime and make about 5 flowers in that time.

Here's a couple places I used them:
